(Brookville, IN) – The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office says recovery support services are expanding inside the Franklin County Security Center through a partnership with 1 Voice Recovery Community.
As part of a continued effort to provide meaningful recovery resources to county jail inmates, 1 Voice Recovery Community will offer both group and individual peer support services to men and women housed in the facility, according to the sheriff’s office.
Services will include twice-weekly evidence-based recovery group sessions, as well as individualized reentry planning designed to connect participants with resources and support upon their release.
The sheriff’s office says addressing substance use disorders and related challenges is an important component of improving public safety, reducing recidivism, and helping individuals successfully reintegrate into the community.
By providing access to peer support and recovery-focused programming while individuals are incarcerated, they hope to create additional opportunities for long-term success after release.
The sheriff’s office is thanking Joel Connaway and Jennifer Keal (pictured) for their dedication and commitment to expanding peer support services in the Franklin County Security Center.
Deputies say their efforts, along with the support of 1 Voice Recovery Community, have helped make the program possible.
Sheriff Peter Cates and the Franklin County Security Center staff say they remain committed to exploring and implementing programs that support recovery, accountability, and positive outcomes for those entrusted to their care.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office says it appreciates the partnership and ongoing support of 1 Voice Recovery Community as they continue working together to strengthen recovery services in the criminal justice system and throughout Franklin County.
